Another good one? Another wonderful one!

[ Wednesday, July 17th ]

Just looking at the agenda I had the feeling that this would be another good one.
And so it was. Daniel in his position of Sergeant at arms called to order and started nearly on time. With his good sense of humor and no extra fuzz he introduced our president Judit and got us off on the right foot. She welcomed everyone and outlined tonight's session.
To lighten up the meeting she introduced a green beach-ball which today represents the transition from one speaker to the next one. She threw the ball to Marion, today's Toastmaster.
Marion went on to introduce our technical team that keeps us on our toes coming to unnecessary fillers, good language and good timing.
And for that one moment that I didn't listen well what Marion said and I asked for clarification, I suddenly and unexpectedly became this week's blogger.

First speaker was Lukasz with his Icebreaker. All members emphasize with them because that also was our first speech. And it was a good one, bravo.
Second speaker was Brock with his fourth discourse. He shook us up with disturbing facts, undeniable theses and convincing arguments. A great impact speech.
The third speech was a real wobbler. Katya told us about a story from her homeland that was a human interest story that most of us could identify with. Time stood still.
Stage presence, authenticity, voice projection and creativity were displayed by all speakers.

Then Marion introduced three evaluators who praised and criticized each former speaker.
The meeting moved nicely along and on stage came Beatriz as the table topics master. Anyone can jump in for some impromptu speaking, today some guest dared.
Marion then asked for the technical reports. Marc, Cristian and Isaac gave us their report which gave them another opportunity to say something funny, entertaining, new and interesting. Isaac wouldn't let that chance go by without giving it a crack.
Sandra as our general evaluator shared her thoughts with us how she saw the entire meeting.
Back to Judit who congratulated and awarded Lukasz and Katya for their accomplishments, their first and fifth discourses.
Our president invited comments from some guests and finished the meeting,
Daniel did the final touch and slammed the gavel down to finally close tonight's session.
I was right , it was another wonderful Toastmasters meeting, thanks to all, Thank you.
